In SAP, there are usually some standard methods to deal with the data in the FEBEP table when importing electronic bank statements, but changes such as setting the value date equal to the posting date directly when processing the bank statement, especially without development, are limited. The SAP standard processes offer some flexibility through customizing, but direct manipulation of posting date and value date is not directly provided for. Here are some approaches you might consider: 1. Setup in Electronic Bank Statement Customizing: Check the configuration under Electronic Bank Statement (EBS) Customizing. Sometimes there are ways to adjust settings through existing customizing so that data processing comes closer to your requirements. You can create sets of rules that are applicable to specific cases. 2. User exit or BAdI: Even if you do not want to carry out large-scale programming, a user exit or a Business Add-In (BAdI) could provide a manageable solution. Modules such as ACBAPI01 or ACBAPI02 make it possible to adapt booking logic during the import process. Here you can specifically adjust the value date for certain conditions (e.g. posting and value date overlap at the end of the month). 3 Batch input or BAPI: Another option would be to use a downstream process that subsequently adjusts the postings. After importing and processing the bank statements, a batch input program or a BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) could be called to correct the data in your financial accounting. 4. ABAP Report: Create a special ABAP report that is executed after processing the bank statement and checks and corrects the data. This approach would be "programming" but could be limited to the most necessary adjustments and would save you the manual repostings. To find the best solution, it is recommended to first thoroughly analyze the exact business requirements and the existing SAP customizing. Depending on the complexity and specific conditions of your SAP environment, different approaches may be more or less suitable. Remember that any customization of processes in SAP can have far-reaching effects and should therefore be thoroughly tested beforehand. It is also advisable to carry out such customizations in collaboration with experienced SAP consultants or your IT support team.
